Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 305 Give It Further Thought

"Then what are you going to do? Why didn't you go with Cindy when she went out?" Confusion was written all over James' face.

"No, I want to give her a chance to choose. Everyone has the right to make a choice. I don't want her to have any regret in her life because of this. After all, she has done too much."

After saying this, Jacob sighed. No matter what Cindy's decision might be, he would understand and accept it and forgive her. That was how considerate Jacob was to the people around him.

"Jacob, let me tell you something. You can't keep forgiving people after they do something wrong. Otherwise, they wouldn't change." There was a hint of sadness in James' eyes. Although it didn't seem appropriate to raise this subject now, he had to say it, because he cared so much about Jacob.

"If you have to give up on yourself to save someone else, you'd better not live. What's the point in living for other people? Only when people learn how to love themselves could they live better lives in this world. So, what should you do? I hope you have the answer in your heart."

Waiting for Jacob's reply, he squinted. At times like this, James could have the freedom to speak out his mind.

Seconds had passed and Jacob finally came up with a realization. "You are right, Uncle. I'm not only condoning Cindy, but I'm also giving her a chance. A chance to see herself clearly and to find herself."

"I understand. As long as the document is not destroyed, it will be found sooner or later. But how about the hope that had been broken?" With a sigh, James turned his head away.

The wrinkles in the corners of his eyes made him look like he had aged. Seeing this, Jacob gritted his teeth. He knew that his uncle had been worrying about him so much, and he knew that he too was tired.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Uncle, what do you think people pursue in this world?" In a daze, Jacob looked at James and waited for his reply. It couldn't be the first time that he asked this question, nor the last time.

"There are a lot of things to pursue, but many people are obsessed with desire. It is because contentment brings satisfaction. Why did you ask?" As much as James wanted to laugh, he couldn't.

His smile didn't even reach his eyes. Jacob sighed and looked out of the window.

"So the first task today is to wait? Isn't it too dangerous for Cindy to go there alone? Won't she commit suicide?" As James spoke, he stood up and put on his coat.

"I don't know. This is also what's bothering me. I'm not worried that she couldn't take back the document; I'm afraid that something might happen to her while trying to get them back." A frown appeared on Jacob's face.

From where he was standing, the whole city was like a fairyland shrouded in mist. By now, Jacob's worry had intensified.

While adjusting his clothes, James told him, "We'd better take a look now before it's too late, in case something happens."

"Okay." Tensed, Jacob felt the urge to smoke, but he controlled himself.

"Should we tell this to Sara?" Frowning, James turned to him. He was sure that it would take a few days, so he thought Jacob should let Sara know. Otherwise, they might have some misunderstanding because of this.

"No, it's better to keep it a secret. She had been stressed enough recently." As he thought about it, Jacob smiled sadly.

"Well, I won't interfere. But I suggest that you tell Sara, or she will be angry." When James coughed, Jacob turned around to look at him.

"Uncle, haven't you recovered from your cold?" Jacob asked with concern.

"It doesn't matter. I'm fine now. It's just that after I get older, I get sick so easily, and it lasts for a long time." Again, James coughed violently after he spoke.

The company was in a critical situation, so he couldn't ask for a leave. No. The truth was, even if it was Jacob himself who asked him to take a leave, James wouldn't agree. Therefore, Jacob didn't say anything anymore, and resumed walking.

When they walked out of the office and passed by the staff area, all the employees lowered their heads, as if they were doing their own things seriously.

Without saying anything, Jacob cast a glance at them.

The employees almost held their breaths, and kept their heads down.

Seeing this, Jacob quickened his pace, followed by James.

As soon as they reached the elevator, Jacob asked, "Uncle, what do you think of the atmosphere in the company now?"

"It feels like a pool of stagnant water." James hit the nail on the head.

"Yes, I also think so. Is there any good way to deal with it?" How could they improve the atmosphere in the office?

"I've thought about it. There are many ways. Let's see how to win their supports and cheer them up then." James sighed and looked at the reflection of the two people in the elevator.

"So, the situation is very complicated now, isn't it?" As if he had lost balance, Jacob leaned against the elevator.

"It's complicated, but not impossible to solve. I think we just need to think it over." To cheer him up, James smiled confidently.

"Well, it's time for the company to hire new people. As for the senior staffs, we can keep them if they work hard, and if they don't, they can leave directly."

The indicator showed that the elevator was about to reach the first floor.

"You are right, but we need to do that properly. We have several senior staffs who are old foxes. If we fire them now, it's like killing them." In his head, James added, 'This is a big problem.'

"I know. Let's talk about it later." They nodded at each other in agreement. At the same time, the elevator door opened.

Jonathan was just at the lobby on the first floor. Now, Jacob finally understood what it meant to meet enemies on a narrow road. They were greeted with Jonathan's piercing eyes.

And then Jonathan said impolitely, "What's the matter, CEO? You're going out again, and you're taking James with you this time."

Although Jacob was furious on the inside, he remained calm in front of everyone. "As the CEO of the company, I have the right to go out to deal with something. When did you have the right to question my freedom?"

Standing aside, James clenched his fists as he controlled his anger towards Jonathan too.

Instead of answering him, Jonathan smiled knowingly. "Then I'd like to ask what happened. Why are both of you in such a hurry?"

With a snort, Jacob replied, "I'm afraid it's none of your business."

Everyone turned to Jonathan when he suddenly laughed. "Okay, fine."

Ignoring him, Jacob strode forward. But he felt as if someone was looking intently at him, so he turned his head.

The moment he saw Jonathan's cunning eyes, he immediately had a bad feeling. 'Why was Jonathan here? Why did Jonathan know that we had to go out?' he was wondering.
